Congrats Peter. I was there when they picked your winning ticket. It is a beautiful car. Enjoy.

Congrats Pete, I hope you decide to use this ACR in the manner that Team Viper intended. Remember, this package would make a great track car. We even made the wheels special to hide excessive brake dust.

 

[Rudeboy]

No worries about not using it as intended. I tracked my GTS for 2+ years before building a dedicated track car and I've still got my spare wheels, lots of tires, trailer, etc... so I'm good to go

However, I will be ensuring it doesn't get crunched so no track records will be set in this car! Luckily it'll be a production color so I don't need to worry about paint.

CONGRATULATIONS Peter from your National VCA officers.

ONE AWESOME CAR!!!!!

 

[Steve Ferguson]

I am thrilled to hear that the winner will USE this great machine. Peter, just FYI, this has long been a dream of Team Viper member Herb Helbig to build this car. Back at VOI 4 in Orlando was the first time I ever heard him speak of this special machine. For years he pushed to build it, but to no avail. Thankfully, when the VCA was in search of a "special" version of the Viper, The Team brought to life the notion of building it. Now you you get a very unique piece of Viper History! Congrats and make sure you get some American flag decals on that baby!!!!

CONGRATS PETER for bringing yet ANOTHER rare Viper to the Pac-NW VCA! [Joining GT2-001, ACR-001, GTS 1st release, and ORECA/GTS-R replica 001.]

Lest anyone think that Peter Wong has trailer queens, I can assure you his custom OPEN trailer is a race hauler, and we have turned tires into marbles and biblically altered brake pads (dust-to-dust) on many an occasion!

I hope that among all you VCA officers and esp Mitch, the assembly process was captured on film for the lucky winner.
Interesting that the build sheet, options list and the window sticker all claim that it is simply a sapphire blue RT/10 w/ a black interior, and NO mention of the ACR package or the Connolly interior. VCA please document for Peter?

THANKS to the VCA Officers and JRThompson company and Team Viper for making this a great event in support of VCA activities.

What became of this car? Is it still owned by the same lucky person?

 

[1TONY1]

Heck, I thought I had missed something until I checked the date. If I stay on here anymore they might start charging me

 

[snowmann]

Actually I think I saw it on Ebay...

 

[Lee00blacksilverGTS]

Tell me that's not true!
